Black out the chrome trim

I'm not thrilled with the big chrome strips along the side of my 'new to me' E55 Wagon.

Any suggestions on a reversible way to black out the trim?

Thanks,

Tom

P.S. Loving my E55! Over 4,000 miles in the first three weeks.

The best way to remove them is with fishing line and windex. Spray windex, just a little, and run the fishing line between the car and the emblem to remove. I would just bring them to any body shop to be gently blasted and then painted. Easy enough. Good luck EDITED-I thought you meant the V8 Kompressor emblems.

My friend did it (just in white though). Pretty simple, he took it to a bodyshop and they sanded down the chrome and painted over it. He did the same to the grill and the chrome badges. Came out beautiful.
